Chapter 1572

The masked man wounded Maxine and pushed her away. Then, he quickly dragged Tobias, who had

been pierced by the eighty-one needles, with him.

Thea chased after them.

She knew Tobias would die after being struck by Exalter.

The person who saved Tobias must have been his comrade.

Thus, he also had to die.

Meanwhile, James quickly rushed to Maxine.

When he got close to her, she had already collapsed into a pool of blood.

Blood constantly gushed out of her mouth.

James tried to help her but noticed that her back was also stained red with blood. He instantly tore off

her clothes and saw her bloody back.

Seeing this, he panicked a little.

He quickly took her hand and checked her pulse.

James’ expression turned solemn.

“What’s wrong?”

Thomas showed up just then and said, “Move. Let me take a look.”

James did not have Crucifier with him. Without it, his medical skills were significantly reduced.

He immediately stepped aside.

Thomas quickly checked Maxine’s injury and catalyzed his True Energy, placing his hands on Maxine’s

back. His strong True Energy entered Maxine’s body to heal her.

Other people came one after another.

Omniscient Deity of the Jade Sect.

Jackson and Delainey from the Mount Thunder Sect.

Bennett from the Cadens.

Callan, the former Supreme Leader of the Gu Sect.

The other martial artists also rushed over.

These people stood aside and watched as Thomas treated Maxine.

James also observed from the sidelines.

Maxine’s injuries were severe. She was on the verge of death after sustaining the blow. Had Thomas

not been here to help, she would have died within a few minutes.

James believed in Thomas.

He trusted Thomas could save Maxine.

Soon, Thea returned to the scene.

James quickly walked over to her. He looked at Thea, who had long, white hair and was holding onto

the Malevolent Sword, asking, “How did it go? Did you manage to catch up?”

Thea gently shook her head and said, “No. They were too fast. They entered the primary forest. I lost

them after a short chase.”

She looked at James with an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry. I’m useless…”

James reached out and placed his hand on her lips, stopping her from speaking.

Looking at the beautiful Thea, he took her into his arms.

“You’ve already done a great job.”

James embraced Thea tightly.

He never expected Thea to have secretly set up the Celestial Sect in the Capital in the past two months

while he was meditating in seclusion.

James knew Thea created the Celestial Sect to help him.

He also remembered Thea saying that she would help him.

Now, he finally understood the meaning of her words.

Hearing James’ compliment, Thea was pleased. She felt that all her hard work throughout this period

was not in vain. Everything was worth it.

“Cough!”

At that moment, Thea suddenly coughed.

She coughed hard, and blood came out.

James immediately let go of her.

He noticed the abnormality in the color of Thea’s blood. It looked different from ordinary human blood.

Normal human blood would be bright red.

However, her blood was mixed with some sort of white, which looked strange.

He asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

Thea had a solemn expression.

She knew her body’s condition.

Previously, after seeing the severed limbs and mistaking them for James’, she suffered an Energy

Deviation and continued to absorb the power of the Spirit Turtle’s blood.

She had now almost completely absorbed the energy contained within the blood.

At present, Thea was extremely powerful, and it was not an exaggeration to describe her as invincible.
